Cleaning up Russian Model 91/30s

[Gil Martin]

I spent this snowy morning playing around with a few Model 91/30 rifles that I picked up cheap. Two are from 1943 and one has a perfect bore, the other bore is very good and may clean up over time. Then I have a 1933 Tula with a hex receiver that is very nice with a good bore. The last one is from 1960 and the bore is black and 47 years of cleaning have been a waste of time.

I really like the socket bayonet and each rifle came with one. They are probaly the last affordable military rifles around. If you think you may want one, better grab one while you can. All the best...
